When you update the IBM® Flex
System Manager to version
6.3.3 or later, the Install log shows multiple Invalid subscription
messages. These messages are also displayed when you update the QLogic
and Emulex products.
Problem
Run
the update manager to update your IBM Flex
System Manager to version
6.3.3 or later. When the task completes, the Install log shows multiple
Invalid subscription messages. You might also see similar messages
for an invalid filter and an invalid handler in the installation log.
Investigation
When
you run the update manager, it tries to delete the subscriptions,
filters, and handlers from the cimom directory. If
the update manager does not find the subscription, filter, or handler
in the cimom directory, it shows the Invalid Subscription,
Invalid filter, or Invalid handler messages in the installation log.
Explanation
When
you run the update manager, an initial script deletes all the subscriptions,
filters, and handlers before running the update script. When the update
script runs, it tries to delete the subscriptions, filters, and handlers
again, causing these messages to show in the installation log.
Resolution
The
Invalid subscription, Invalid filter, and Invalid handler messages
do not have any functional impact and can be ignored.
